The General Directorate of Geology and Mineral Surveys of France, under the Ministry of Industry of France, has 25 local branches, 3 local mining offices, and a series of joint-stock companies engaged in mineral surveys and extractions.

It is one of the few large-scale institutions in the world that integrates geological survey, mineral selection, geology and land development.

The Agency has formed a vast network of group companies through its shareholding in many mining companies through the Mineral Survey and Mining Company.

Through its subsidiaries, it directly holds mining interests in large mineral deposits in many countries and has a global presence.

The International Mining Development Corporation alone has mined more than 5 tonnes of gold in Africa over the past few years.

Knowing that Lexa turned out to be the CEO of such a behemoth's subsidiary, Zhao Guoyang couldn't help but sigh in his heart that his luck was really good.

In the lounge, when Lexa and Piero were arguing, Clement's eyes never left Zhao Guoyang's body.

As one of the world's top three construction machinery giants, the business focus of "Jesse Bo" has actually been in Europe and the United States.

An important reason for this is that the average price of its products is too high, and few mining companies and engineering construction companies in Asia, Africa and Latin America are willing to purchase in large quantities.

In Africa, of course, "Jessiba" mining equipment is available, but the market share is less than one percent.

With such a low market share, "Jessebo" does not have much confidence in this market.

This time, Clement came to participate in the "West Africa International Construction Machinery and Mining Machinery Exhibition", and did not have much idea of expanding its business, but just wanted to know more about the product status of its competitors.

Originally, after seeing the products of competitors such as "Komatsu Manufacturing" and "Volvo Construction Equipment" in the exhibition hall today, Clement was somewhat disappointed.

It's not that these competitors' products aren't competitive, but that these products don't have much to note in terms of innovation.

However, after being attracted by the dispute between Lee Jae-do and Zhao Guoyang, Clement suddenly discovered that this "SMS company" that he had never heard of had a good product.

Later, after learning more about the dispute between "Hyundai Heavy Industry" and "SMS Company", Clement naturally paid attention to Zhao Guoyang, a "rising star".

"Mr. Zhao, I don't know if your patent for the 'new DC all-digital electronic control system' is intended to be sold to the outside world?" asked Clement directly without much ink.

Hearing his question, Zhao Guoyang nodded with a smile and said, "Mr. Clement, since this patent has been applied, it must be for sale." ”

"However, as far as I know, your company's research on electronic control should exceed the level of our patent, I don't know why ......"

After Zhao Guoyang asked this, Clement shrugged his shoulders disapprerovingly and said: "For the electronic control part, our 'Jessie Bo Company' does have a lot of patents. However, because our company's mine hoisting equipment is not the main product, we have not put much effort into this patent. ”

As soon as Clement explained this, Zhao Guoyang immediately understood.

Indeed, it's not that the "Jesse Bouquet Company" can't get this patent, but that it doesn't have to.

After all, the bulk of their business is large construction machinery, not mine hoisting equipment.

If this kind of relatively small patent can be purchased directly from other companies at a relatively favorable price, it will also be a kind of manpower and material resource saving for the technology research and development department of "Jessie Bo Company".

Thinking about this, Zhao Guoyang's heart gradually became lively.

To say that his patent for this "new DC all-digital electronic control system" is indeed relatively practical, but in terms of difficulty and complexity, it is just ordinary.

Therefore, in terms of the price of patent transfer, Zhao Guoyang's psychological price is only about 200,000 US dollars.

With the financial resources of "Jesse Borough Company", Zhao Guoyang believes that after his price is quoted, this Mr. Clement will bargain a little, and nine times out of ten he will agree.

However, compared with only receiving the $200,000, Zhao Guoyang values a series of cooperation with the "Jesse Bo" company.

After making up his mind, Zhao Guoyang smiled and said, "Mr. Clement, I am personally honored that you value this patent of our 'SMS company'. ”

"If you want to buy, of course no problem, I will give you a better price. However......" Zhao Guoyang deliberately showed a look of embarrassment.

Seeing his expression, Clement opened his voice with a look of hope: "But what? Researcher Zhao, don't have any worries!"

Seeing that Clement had been hooked, Zhao Guoyang told his thoughts one by one.

"That's right, Mr. Clement. As for our 'SMS company', we are not short of money for the time being. So I don't really care too much about how many companies this patent can sell to and how much it can be sold. ”

"Compared with the transfer of patents, I pay more attention to the improvement of technology and the expansion of the market......

As soon as Zhao Guoyang's words began, Clement seemed to understand something.

Catching a glimpse of the serious thinking look on his face, Zhao Guoyang continued: "In fact, I have always admired the technical level of 'Jessie Bo Company'. ”

"Compared with the same size of 'Caterpillar Inc.' and 'Komatsu Works', your company has been investing more energy in the innovation of construction machinery. ”

Zhao Guoyang opened his voice in an appreciative tone: "This is also an important reason why your company's market value is not among the top five among the same type of enterprises, but its reputation is one of the best!"

Listening to Zhao Guoyang's sincere words, Clement's face showed a hint of relief.

However, "Jesse Bouquet" is worse than several other major construction machinery manufacturers in terms of market value, and can only rank fifth or sixth in the world.

However, this does not detract from its good reputation in the industry.

After Zhao Guoyang entered the construction machinery industry, his first reaction was to seek cooperation with "Jessebo Company", which is precisely because of this reason.

After giving Clement some time to think, Zhao Guoyang continued to speak: "Maybe Mr. Clement still has some concerns about the cooperation I said, thinking that our 'SMS company' wants to become your company's foundry and produce your products in Huaxia. ”

"In fact, it's just the most basic form of cooperation I've ever envisioned!"

Hearing this, a hint of discoloration flashed in Clement's eyes.

He raised his head, stared into Zhao Guoyang's eyes, and said thoughtfully: "So, Mr. Zhao, what other cooperation methods are you considering?"

"Technology sharing, supporting manufacturers sharing, product standard sharing, and even market sharing are all possible!"

Zhao Guoyang spread his hands and said: "I know that 'Jessie Bo Company' has a persistent pursuit of product quality. In this regard, we are also very important as an SMS company. ”

"Maybe Mr. Clement also knows that we have the world's largest construction machinery market in Huaxia. But with all due respect, the recognition of your company in our Huaxia market is actually not high. It is even possible that it is not as good as the 'Hyundai Heavy Industries Group' of Mr. Lee Jae-do just now!"

Zhao Guoyang's evaluation made Clement somewhat embarrassed.

However, this person's cultivation is still very high, and after thinking seriously for a while, he also accepted Zhao Guoyang's statement.

Seeing Clement nodding, Zhao Guoyang continued to speak: "If the two of us cooperate, we can completely make the reputation of 'Jessie Bo Company' in Huaxia." ”

"I can't guarantee that the products with your company's brand will definitely sell well, but it's no problem to open up a part of the Chinese market!"

When Clement heard this, he nodded approvingly and said, "Well, Mr. Zhao's proposal still has a certain degree of feasibility. ”

"However, I still don't know anything about your company's technology research and development and production capacity. A mine hoist alone is nothing. I don't know if Mr. Zhao agrees with me?"

Zhao Guoyang shrugged his shoulders and said nonchalantly: "This is natural!"

"If we 'SMS company' are only so capable, we are not qualified to cooperate with your company at all, and we can only be your 'foundry'. ”

Zhao Guoyang stretched out his hand and pointed to the booths of his two companies outside the room, and said with a smile: "In fact, Mr. Clement may not have paid much attention to our company's other product just now - small excavators!"

"If you take a closer look at this product, Mr. Clement, then your perception of our 'SMS company' may not be the same!"

Listening to Zhao Guoyang's sworn words, Clement was stunned.

Indeed, as Zhao Guoyang said, just now he ignored the other product on the booth because his attention was on the two mine hoists of "Hyundai Heavy Industry" and "SMS Company".

Of course, there is another reason for this, that is, the excavator is clearly just a sample, and there is not much to observe.

Clement himself is a master of technology in construction machinery, of course, it can be seen at a glance.

It makes sense that he didn't continue to pay attention to the excavator.

At this time, hearing that Zhao Guoyang seemed to mean something, Clement said "hmm": "Yes, I have lost my eyes on this." ”

"Okay, Mr. Zhao, let's go over and take a look at your company's excavator later. If we can reach a good level, I think the cooperation between our two companies is still promising......"

Hearing Clement's statement, Zhao Guoyang's face showed a smile of relief.
